An all-time favourite

Today, Inkspot has decided to post an all-time favourite. Enjoy :-)

Said an ape as he swung by his tail,
To his children both female and male,
'From your offspring, my dears,
In a couple of years,
May evolve a professor at Yale.’
                                         -Bennett Cerf (1898-1971), "Out on a Limerick"

  3. What, then pray
    should the professor say

    to the swinging mammal
    the primal male
    Look! no tail?
